Abiify....and Clonazepam 1mg

Hi all.I'am taking Abilify for my bipolar and seems to be working.I still however can not fall asleep on my own so the docs gave me Clonazepam for night time only.

My question is: I drink a 20oz coffee, 3 shots of espresso every single morning.I'am feeling more so now with the meds I'am taking.....like full of anixety, cant stand still, fidgity.Is that normal with these meds or am I causing it with the caffinene? I also drink pepsi too.I have also become more calm in the way that I'am more quiet.

So if anyone has any info it would be so helpful to me.Thank you all.Hope each and every one of you are doing well.

I only know about the abilify. If I take it at night it makes me jumpy really jumpy so I have to take it in the am so it won't keep me up and feeling jumpy. I'd say you might want to gradually cut the espresso if you can. I drink coffee and it does not bother me. I drink 2 or 3 cups every morning.

i also take my abilify in the morning, as it does make me a little more hyper, at least it did when i first started it, or an increase of dosage. i suggest that you cut down on your caffeine gradually (dont want a withdrawal headache). and take your abilify as soon as you awaken in the morning.

Thank you all so very much.Gonna have to ask my doc if I can take my meds in the morning....or at least the abilify.She has me taking it at night for now in case of side affects I guess.I go back in a month.I have just been feeling so ansiy.....get up sit down, get up walk around, sit down.Its embarrassing in front of my family cause they are looking at me like what the heck is she doing and why? Just full of anixety for some reason.Itsucks.Was not this way before the meds.I would have some anixety, but nothing like this.Any advice for me?Thank you.......helps alot all of your comments. :)

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care.

I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
